Uruk, the Chaldea Embassy.
When Rozen returned here, it was dark, and there was no human presence.
Merlin temporarily stayed in the throne room of the God Tower with Fou. He seemed to be discussing something with Gilgamesh.
Matthew and Attila were still in their spiritual forms, and they did not seem to have any intention of coming out.
Nobunaga, Okita, Niu Ruomaru, and Bin Qing did not seem to have returned either. They should have stayed at the Magical Beast Battlefront.
In other words, Rozen was the only one left in the entire Chaldea Embassy.
No, that was not right.
Other than Rozen, there was another person who returned here ahead of time.
Rozen wanted to go straight back to his room, lie on the bed, and have a good sleep to wipe away the fatigue brought about by today's mess. However, after a careful "look", Rozen's figure paused slightly. He pondered for a while and did not choose to go back to his room. Instead, he went up the stairs all the way to the roof.
Here, there was an open-air platform that looked like a balcony.
The night breeze blew, bringing with it a burst of coolness, but also a sense of loneliness.
However, in this somewhat lonely night, there was a beautiful girl.
The girl in a black robe sat on the edge of the roof, looking at the night sky. No one knew what she was thinking.
Rozen did not know what she was thinking.
However, Rozen knew that the direction she was looking at was the northern part of Mesopotamia, in the direction of the fir forest where the Magical Beast Goddess lived.
Thinking of this, Rozen stepped forward.
"Anna."
As he stepped forward, Rozen called out her name.
"Huh?"
Anna seemed to have come back to her senses. She turned her head subconsciously and looked at him.
As soon as she looked over, Rozen could not help but stop in his tracks. His eyes lit up even more.
This was because, at this very moment, an exceedingly beautiful and delicate face entered his sight.
It was a beautiful face that did not seem to belong to the human world, like a goddess.
There was a trace of childishness on her face, but it did not affect her beauty at all. Instead, it was like a flower that had just bloomed, filled with the innocence of a young girl who had just grown up.
Rozen had seen all kinds of beautiful girls. It wasn't that he hadn't seen many girls who were as beautiful as goddesses. Some of them even maintained intimate relationships with him, but even so, Rozen's eyes still lit up when he saw the girl's face.
"So this is what you look like, Anna."
Rozen couldn't help but say that in an admiring tone.
Because Anna had been covering her face with a hood, Rozen had not been able to see her true face.
Who would have thought that tonight, Anna would take off her hood and reveal her true face.
"Ah …"
Only then did Anna realize her state. She quickly pulled up her hood again to cover her face. She even turned around and stopped looking at Rozen.
"Why are you treating me like an outsider?"
Rozen couldn't help but touch his nose and spread out his hands.
“.....”
However, Anna didn't even say a word. She was fully vigilant and unfamiliar with Rozen.
There was nothing he could do about it.
Thinking about it carefully, Rozen realized that ever since he met Anna, he didn't seem to have a deep relationship with her. To put it nicely, they were companions, but to put it bluntly, they were just colleagues.
The reason why Anna followed them was only to defeat the Magical Beast Goddess. Other than that, she didn't seem to want to do anything else. Unless it was necessary, she wouldn't even say a word to them.
Before this, Rozen had almost no memory of talking to Anna, let alone suddenly being alone like this.
In other words, the two of them weren't familiar with each other at all.
That being the case, with Anna's previous aversion to humans and vigilance toward others, it was completely understandable that she would immediately hide her face and turn her back to Rozen as soon as he appeared, not saying a word, and not saying a word.
Rozen also wanted to come up and take a look because he "saw" Anna's spiritual energy appear here.
After all …
"Ever since you came back from the North, you've been in a bad state. Is there something wrong with your body?"
Rozen seemed to be deliberately breaking the unfamiliarity between the two and shattering the vigilance in Anna's heart. While asking this question, he slowly stepped forward.
"… I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with my body." Anna was silent. After a while, she said in a low voice, "On the other hand, your body doesn't look good. You don't have the energy to care about my condition, do you?"
"That's true. I can't refute that." Rozen laughed and said, "But I'm not really concerned. At most, I'm just puzzled, right?"
Rozen felt a little strange about the reason why Anna was suddenly in low spirits. In addition, Anna's identity was mysterious, and she seemed to have reached an agreement with Merlin to share some secret. Previously, Rozen didn't have the energy to think about these questions. Now that the two of them were alone, Rozen still wanted to ask.
However …
"I'm sorry. This is all caused by my immaturity." Anna lowered her head even more and said, "This time too. Killing Gorgon was my goal, but I couldn't come in handy when you dealt with him. I'm really sorry."
With that, Anna finally raised his head and looked at Rozen.
"Next time, I'll definitely come in handy next time."
Anna said with a firm tone.
Anna's reaction made Rozen frown.
(It seems that Anna is in low spirits because of Gorgon.)
Rozen didn't think that Anna was depressed because he couldn't help him.
He and Anna were at most acquaintances who nodded at each other. Anna shouldn't be too emotional about not being able to help him.
Therefore, the main reason why Anna was in low spirits was because of Gorgon.
The girl regarded defeating Gorgon as her mission and pushed the mission to Rozen, letting Rozen deal with Gorgon while she watched from afar. This might be the reason why she was in low spirits.
Another reason was probably because of the cocoons in the Blood Shrine.
On the way back to Uruk, Rozen told Anna about what he experienced in the Blood Shrine.
From that moment on, Anna's mood was not right.
Combining all these things, Rozen pondered for a while and looked at Anna.
"You seem to want to defeat Gorgon," Rozen looked straight at Anna and said, "Could it be that you have some kind of relationship with Gorgon?"
Anna didn't answer.
Not only did she not answer, but after a moment of silence, she asked a question instead.
"You've met Gorgon, right?" Anna said with a complicated mood, "In your opinion, what kind of existence is Gorgon?"
Anna asked such a question.
"What kind of existence …?"
Rozen didn't expect Anna to ask such a question.
But sensing Anna's nervousness and solemnity, Rozen thought for a while and answered according to his own thoughts.
"She is an existence that must be defeated."
